For the first year in a row, the Town of Niverville is gearing up for another summer season packed with weekly children’s camps.

“I’m thrilled to be back to run these camps for the third year since they first began,” says camp coordinator Jane Fast. “These camps provide a great opportunity for children to be outside, work as a team, get exercise, and most of all have fun!”

Every year’s camps are a bit different. This year’s themes will include Animal Lovers, Royally Flushed, Wacky Wizard, Creative Arts, Survivor, Mythbusters, and Mini-Detectives. Camps will also be geared toward sports lovers, young children, and gymnasts.

“These camps are a chance for kids to be kids,” Fast says. “I’ve seen my campers racing around town on bikes in pouring rain and it doesn’t stop the fun. This summer they’ll get to dress up, ride horses, eat gross things, learn magic tricks, make art, and create explosions, just to name a few. I have a very exciting plan for each camp this year.”

One feature that’s new this year, and will be welcomed by many families, is before and after childcare.

“This year, we have responded to feedback from parents and guardians, so we are offering before and after childcare,” Fast says. “Parents can choose to extend camp hours beginning at 8:00 a.m. and ending at 5:30 p.m. For half-day camps, campers may stay over the lunch break.”

Fast encourages families to get their children signed up as early as possible to ensure that room is still available in their preferred camps.
